Kathmandu – The Royal Greenhill Institute of Technology (RGIT), a leading vocational and technical institute headquarted in Melbourne, Australia with an additional campus in Hobart, Tasmania has succesfully conducted a one day interactive program with its education partners in Nepal. The program was held at the Marriott Hotel in Kathmandu on Friday, 6th May, 2022, and met with enthusiasm by attending partners.
The interactive program was helped with the motto of educating and empowering prospective international students who wish to pursue their higher education in Australia. Nepalese students reach out to several education consultants in Nepal not only for an informed choice of their availability on courses and institutes, but also as someone who will be able to guide them as they get used to a student life in Australia – therefore it is important educational consultants are equipped with the right information. Through the interactive program, RGIT Australia informed educational consultants about the provisions of Australia, which in turn will be shared with prospective international students.
Founder, CEO and Director of RGIT Australia Mr Chandra Yonzon said that the main objective of the program was to educate students from Nepal about the life in Australia – so as once they reach Australia, they would not have to suffer.
“Students come with several dreams while arriving in Australia – however, because of lack of information, they have to suffer, sometimes very severely which could lead to their visa cancellation. Many education consultants aren’t aware of the legal provisions in Australia – right from making a correct application to understanding the provisions to maintain their visa status in Australia. We hope to change that, in a bid to change our students’ lives”, Mr Chandra Yonzon, Founder and CEO of RGIT Australia shared, voicing a deep concern for newly arrived international students in Australia.
The event was attended by representatives of 50 different educational institutions in Kathmandu. Rabi Yonzon, Managing Director of the RGIT Australia, further clarified upon the educational provisions and the conditions in Australia.
During the interactive program, representatives of education organizations asked several questions to which CEO and the Managing Director Mr Yonzon responded to with the correct answers.
Prakash Pandey, President of Education Consultancy Association of Nepal (ECAN) who was also the chief guest to the program expressed his commitment to help students going to Australia from Nepal become more knowledgeable in the legal, economic, and social aspects to enjoy a well balanced, hassle free Australian international student life.
Similarly, Secretary of Free Education Consultancy Organization Nepal (FECON) Umesh Kushwaha also stressed on the need to be clear about all the terms and conditions when going to study in Australia. Likewise, KD Moktan, President of the Association of Tamang Educational Consultants Nepal, said that the program was organized to clarify the educational provisions and conditions of Australia and expressed his commitment to make every effort to educate students going to Australia to pursue their higher education.
Founded in 2008, the organization has passed its 14th spring this year. RGIT, which started its journey as the Gurkhas Institute of Hospitality and Management, changed its name in 2010. Rabi Yonzon, Managing Director of the organization, said that the name was changed with the aim of expanding the organization to other countries.
In recent years, the Nepal branch has been providing significant assistance to the office in Australia. Similarly, the institute is providing quality education to students from China, Korea, Vietnam and other Asian countries, including Nepalis who dream of pursuing higher education in Australia.
At present more than one thousand students are studying in this esteemed institution which has its campuses in Melbourbe, Victoria and Hobart, Tasmania. According to Rabi Yonzon, students from more than 45 different nationalities study and train in their state-of-the-art campuses.
